The Inner Sanctom

            Trent and Marcus started their walk around the giant underground of the junkyard. Led by Erin and Drake, they walked around the giant complex beneath this junkyard. There were hundreds of high-tech computer monitors and two geeks stationed at each one of them, all working furiously at some impossible task or the other.

But before you are to receive your mission, we must put your accuracy to the test.” Two men dressed in all black, who were fit enough to be body builders came into the room. “Go with these men, and we will see what you are really made of.” He had a mad glint in his eye, the one of an incredibly unstable genius…
